UNKNOWN OBJECTIVES - Member Sally Finch and guest artist Owen Premore explore their artistic questions with data, technology, collage, sculpture and paint. Both artists are driven by the technical and intellectual challenges of making their work without a firm idea of what it will look (or sound) like, or how, exactly, they will get there.
Of Two Minds. Zac Banik and Michael Spence (in the South Gallery)

BLOOM, Dianne Jean Erickson
with guests Chas Martin and Candyce Scott
My work is an invitation to experience the garden as I do—not just as a collection of plants, but as a living, breathing canvas of inspiration.

A Drop in the Pond, Jon Gottshall
with guest artists Kerry Davis, Anna Daedalus, Maria Lux, She-Ju Wang, Rich Rollins, Barbara Gilson and member Nancy Helmsworth
When a landscape is unappealing, is not suitable for agriculture and lacks the natural resources we value, we see the land as unprofitable, a wasted space. Into this category, we have historically placed wetlands. Worse, we viewed them as sources of pestilence and disease.
Member Exhibit - Chaos Theory
Chaos Theory uses tenets of math and physics to study patterns of dynamic chaotic systems to better understand and predict their behavior. It's random and yet not random... People process, make sense of their human experience. Visual artists create artifacts (art) that reflects their lived understanding among the chaos that is our lives. Gallery 114 is proud to share the work of our artist members in this interesting exhibit!

Cuba 2016 - 2023
Alan Wieder with Alexander Tanner
I first visited Cuba in December 2016 as a student in a Peter Turnley workshop. I returned in 2018 and then a number of visits were cancelled until I visited earlier this year. On each occasion, I spent my days on the streets making pictures of Cuban people. Venues included Havana, Vinales, and Santiago de Cuba. Besides city streets, I was able to photograph in schools, boxing gyms, beaches, tobacco farms, dance studios, and music venues. I made many street portraits but was also able to take candid pictures.
Alexander Tanner - Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali: The Greatest Comics Biography of All Time is a thoroughly researched dramatization of the life and cultural impact of one of the most important figures in American History. Compiled from dozens of sources, the book painstakingly recreates the events that composed his life.

Painting the InBetween
Kay Henning Danley
“Painting the In Between” is the place I go when I'm painting. It’s not realism. And it's also not completely divorced from realism. It's an “in between place” where my best work happens.

ACCOMPLICE - Reasonings, Reckonings and Ratios from Elsewhere
James Reed
Accomplice is given form and content by these visual artworks and the participation of the viewer in the creative process.
I was challenged by the 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional visual design elements that I used in creating these compositions when I chose certain materials and objects to work with. However , with these challenges I was able to discover form and content that I was not yet conscious of.

Two Thousand Nine Hundred Miles Away
Jeffrey Fuchs / Sharon Servilio
Opening Reception: 1st Thursday, February 2, 5 to 8pm.
How do we locate ourselves in time and space? Points on a map exert a psychic pull on us, whether through lived experience, family of origin, ancestry, or a lineage of artistic influences we've never met. What does distance mean in a hyperconnected, context-collapsed world, and how is our perspective mediated when we are a nation or a neighborhood away? Some places take on a mythical quality or represent something lost, and others we distance ourselves from, only to be drawn back later in life. How do we hold this constellation while remaining present, engaged, and in relationship with our time and place in this moment?

Donald Dahlke / Agglomerations
Dianne Jean Erickson / Object and Line
Donald: My concept of visual art is a process of discovery not bound by artistic convention. My approach is experimental and combines geometric and organic techniques creating entities reflecting my perception of a complex world.
Dianne: In my last two series "Women With Attitude" and "Stacked," I used a great deal of color. In this new series "Object and Line," I wanted to simplify color and object, keeping this statement in mind, "what is not included is as important as what is..." The background becomes as important as the object within.

RED SCARE - Ruth Ross with Diane Kendall
There was no doubt that the “witch hunts” of the 40’s and 50’s, which resulted in the deaths of the Ethel and Julius Rosenberg impacted profoundly my parent’s sense of security. We fled without telling anybody. And most of this was never discussed again.

Undercurrent
Pat Barrett: My paintings evolve from the physical act of mark-making to the formation of visual patches of color and value. These structures become holders for the ideas and emotions that are influencing the developing painting. I don’t use formulaic strategies. So, it’s critical that I remain alert and open when painting. I am looking for those opportunities that appear during the process that help give structure to whatever it is that I am paying attention to on the most intuitive level. These are matters that for me can only be mediated through the act of painting.
